The Red Onion Cafe — Restaurant in Charlotte

Absolutely revolting... do not waste your money here.

The owner is unfriendly and overcharging desperate tourists in a food desert. Many better options available at any gas station.

The bread was old and dry, inedible. The services was hostile and awkward... it felt like some sort of surreal performance art piece.

This place used to be in downtown burlington but was so bad that locals avoided it and even former employees had warned me this owner is more interested in the bottom line than health and safety practices.

I had been excited to try this spot. Looks inviting from the road. Lady at the register was unwelcoming and rude. My wife ordered soup (was good she reports) but lady refused to allow a substitute for the bread with an abrupt “no”. While I was on my 10 minute time out for a 5 minute sandwich the cook decided to feed bacon to a regulars dogs with his bare hand and later wipe on his apron. As I waited another 10 mins my wife was treated rudely and later the rude lady gave me me sandwich while rudely dumping it off in front of me. All I can say is don’t. Rueben was 20 minutes, served cold with very little meat. It was mostly garnish. Good luck. People expect value for...
